Get Cheap Student Tickets with Amtrak

This past weekend, the Her Campus Team journeyed from the HC headquarters in Boston to New York City for the National Intercollegiette Conference, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of Amtrak. Thanks to their generosity, we were able to cart our entire team (as well as several oversized suitcases!) from city center to city center, in just a few hours. Besides being spacious, clean, and comfortable, Amtrak offers something that all traveling collegiettes love: student discounts!


If you book your next Amtrak trip with a Student Advantage card, you’ll get 15 percent off most routes.  At only $20 a year, the card also allows you to become eligible for 1,000 bonus Amtrak Guest Rewards enrollment points once you complete your first round-trip on Amtrak.

Getting cheap train tickets has never been easier. When booking online on Amtrak.com, simply go to the “Passenger Discounts” page under the “Deals” tab, where you can select “Student Advantage” as your discount type. Enter your Student Advantage number, and you’ll instantly have dozens of discounted Amtrak routes at your fingertips. And don’t think this offer doesn’t include you, pre-collegiettes – both high school and college students are eligible for Student Advantage cards!

Apply for a Student Advantage card today, and be sure to book your next trip with Amtrak.
